This post modern love story is never what we expect it to be -- It's thorny yet exhilarating, funny and sad, a twisted journey of highs and lows that doesn't quite go where we think it will.

500 Days of Summer Spoofs
I got this hilarious, but somewhat creepy, video sent to me yesterday: 500 Days of Zankou. Its description is adequate: “A movie about a girl and her love for the best chicken she has ever had. This isn’t your typical love story.”
Now how does that make you feel?
There is a second 500 Days of Summer-themed video after the jump. This one is politcally charged. It’s a commercial produced by Dwight Drake (D) for Governor: 500 Days of Sanford. “Continue reading” to watch it below. The voice-over is right on!
September 9th, 2009500 Days of Summer Starts a New Fad: Filming in IKEA Stores
I’ve just discovered a new web-video series called IKEA Heights. It’s described as “a melodrama shot entirely in the Burbank California IKEA store.” The best part about it is they film the series without the store staff knowing, so there are hilarious shots with inconspicuous shoppers in the background–sort of like 500 Days of Summer.
Anyway, while not entirely along the lines of 500 Days of Summer, I thought a lot of fans would appreciate this! Check out the first episode of IKEA Heights below and let me know what you think in the comments.
I’ve also included a clip of the IKEA scene from 500 Days of Summer after the cut.
August 5th, 2009Must Watch: 500 Days of Summer “Bank Heist” Music Video
Quite honestly the best video ever– the best, best, best, best, BEST. What a team. Hard to describe Zooey Deschanel as anything but incredible but to choose between her and Joe Gordon-Levitt? Impossible. Marc Webb makes me want to direct and a very catchy tune by She & Him. Makes me a very happy guy.
You must watch this video: after the jump.
Music: Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? by She & Him (iTunes link)
Zooey Deschanel & Joesph Gordon-Levitt
Director: Marc Webb
Choreographer: ?
USAToday.com premiered the video today along with a short article about the video. Included is this great tidbit:
They’re not a real couple, but they’re good at faking it.
Discuss.
July 19th, 2009500 Days of Summer TV Spot: “Boy Meets Girl”
It’s alright. Not as compelling as this first tv spot I came across just over a week ago. Suppose this spot is for a more general audience. Shows off the format of the film well.
July 16th, 2009NYTimes: Anatomy of a Scene for 500 Days of Summer
Marc Webb, the director of “(500) Days of Summer,” discusses a dance sequence from the film.
This is an extremely cool feature that allows you to watch the full scene with or without commentary from Marc Webb. I strongly discourage you from watching this until after you’ve seen the film, (which comes out now in less than 500 Minutes on the East coast!)

July 16th, 2009Zooey and Joe on “The Creative Process”
“I sometimes think though that starting things–you sort of kind of have to pretend like you have a really good idea and convince yourself and others that you do. And then they jump on and then it turns into a good idea. It kind of creates something out of nothing.” – Joe
